| There comes a time in all of our lives when we let ourselves dream about living life on our own terms. When we wrestle with the decision to take a step into traffic, follow our passions and live deliberately – or simply let another day, and daydream, pass.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if we make the decision of our own accord, or life makes it for us. It’s where our heart and soul are that matter. For some, the result is a closer alignment between vocation and avocation, for some it’s a reprioritization of what’s important in life, for some it’s the very real difference between life and death.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Life on purpose makes a lot more sense than life that’s passive.

Today being Diwali in India reminded me of this incredible short put together by the good folks over at Variable (check out more of Khalid Mohtaseb’s work here).  They paint this really remarkable slow-motion picture that really celebrates a moment.

| Life is extraordinary. Embrace it.

| What is adventure? I’m not too sure we know these days.

I know I throw this word around a lot here, but this was INCREDIBLE (and to be honest I sure hope I throw this word around a lot, because that’s the type of content I’m always looking for SN#7!).  The visuals, the poetic contemplative conversation, it’s all incredible and says more 3 minutes than most of us can say in a lifetime.  Inspirational on so many levels:

“Adventure is curiosity, The willingness to embrace uncertainty, wonder about the possibility of doing just one thing differently than before”.

Have a good weekend, folks.
